Hellobee Boards

I don;t have a problem with posting stuff on facebook. I am pretty good at keeping up with the new ways to set privacy. And although I use my real name, in my professional career life, I go only by my maiden name.....so that protects me from being found by employers and clients. I have lots of married female friends who do that. Other people also do the firstname middlename or spell or shorten parts of their name so it reduces the likelihood of being found. It is pretty common to do this amongst all my psychologist friends!

And more and more, i just try to be conscious of what i post and do what @Radish: said. Even on here, i try not to vent etc about family/friends on the off chance that they join the site one day and can identify me from the little details of my life i have given throughout my posts.

This thread has been interesting to me, and I'm clearly not the most involved person on HB. But the fact that snark sites exist and people go to another place to talk about the people here just amazes me and makes me wonder about the level of maturity that people are fronting here versus "there". I don't have personal relationships here because I'm just not that outgoing nor do I have the time to maintain the relationships.

I don't discredit anyone who does want to invest the time in relationships.

But seriously, some people just need to grow up! If you don't want to be found, then DONT! I know people who blog and they have two facebook pages. One is their personal page and the other is linked to their blog. But then again, the couple of bloggers (not HB related) that I know, do so for a living and aren't trying necessarily to seperate their personal and online lives.

@CupQuakeWalk: I basically only use facebook and hellobee so I had to google GOMI- they have a whole thread just for hating HB- written be people on HB!?
How weird

@Mamaof2: maybe that was the whole point to this thread? *poke* You never know. If so, it worked marvelously.

@MsLipGloss: I wasn't pointing at you.

@CupQuakeWalk: i think this thread was @MsLipGloss: was of telling us she's actually a man named Bubba.

@CupQuakeWalk: ok wait, but you ARE a cupcake, right??

Alright everyone, what's the resolution then?

@MsLipGloss: we are, man! I got yo back. Your hairy back.....

@californiadreams: Am I missing something, is there a way to search GOMI or whatever it is to see what's been said about us? I really don't want to register there just to search my username.

@StbHisMrs: you can just google "GOMI hellobee" and it will come up.

This thread is interesting... I try to keep pretty anonymous but always tell the truth though there are certain things I never say (eg last name). I think someone would have to either try really really hard to stalk me or just already know me to be able to identify who I am (except a couple peeps who I either met or have shared more personal info with). I'm really nosy though so I like to know about drama, lol

Irl, I just recently found out that the husband of one of my "aunts" (not blood related but very close to my family) is a total fraud. They'd been married FIFTEEN years and she just found out he's a total fake. Like, he is a minister at a church but has been practicing another religion in secret fake. And he has been having online/emotional affairs and maybe physical ones throughout their marriage. It's totally sickening

I can't recall ever being shocked by lies from a person I knew on the internet, or really even real life. I do have 2 Facebook friends who have completely 100% made up names. I still call my BIL by his "fake" name sometimes!

I heard of GOMI because of something that happened on HB in the past & it mostly befuddles me. A lot of things they snark on, I would never notice or care about. But I know people who are bitchy about small things in real life (and I'm bitchy in my head all the time!), so I'm not surprised.

@Arden: Add me to the not-put-out club. I feel like there's a culpability on my end, too. I mean, if I wanted to send you a huge lump of cash, or make you Lorelei's guardian in my will, well, I'd better make sure I know exactly who you are and all your personal details. But, it's the net. I like you. I consider you a friend. But you are free to share/not share anything about yourself and your life at your own discretion and it doesn't bug me if I don't get ushered into the inner sanctum. I mean, I totally would go in there if invited ( ), but it seems pretty normal not to turn everyone you meet, especially in public forums, into your bosom buddies. We are totally cool.

The only things you all don't know about me are probably things we're all better off for. So you are totally welcome for that.

@Mrs. Twine: Come on, now. The group needs to know about your double life as a Vegas show girl. This Minnesota farming stuff has gone on long enough.

@nana87: omg that is insane!!! Geez Louise.

@Lindsay05: Wait, you mean you don't have duck lips in real life??

@theotherstark: Even better, I am actually a duck

Okay.... so this is totally off topic but I just checked out GOMI and I'm on there! I'm on there!! I trawled through 70 pages of "I hate her" "Mr Bee is a secret millionaire" before I found myself (ego, much!!)..... I kept saying to Dh "I'm a total drama llama, why hasn't anybody slagged me off?". Then I found it! It was my thread about how I didn't understand how people didn't have time to keep on top of their housework when they WOH and have a child.....! In fairness, now I have a (almost) toddler, I'm totally not doing to well (my house is a bombsite today and I'm slumped on the sofa during naptime, on HB) .... so, yeah.... you got me!

@Cherrybee: hahahaha.
